I used some last weekend I didn't catch any fish but I don't think it was the eggs, it was just one of those days. I bought them in Forest Grove at their outlet store, they were in good shape and lasted quite awhile. I'll keep useing them.

TH, still waiting on a reply to my email I sent you regarding a custom rod.

I don't have your email address on my remote access email account, and it doesn't save messages in the inbox... send me another message to my rod account and I'll send the quote out to you right now, if not I'll have to do it from home tonight.

Thanks

Outlet store in Forest Grove???? Where abouts??? Whats the easiest way to get to there from Hwy 26, or Hwy 6.Or Hillsboro.
Thanks

[THE REEL HEY_YALL]

I resent my email TH. I sent it to the account from your website, but it's the same as the email on ifish. Hope you get it.

Does the Outlet Store have regular hours, or is it pretty much if you let them know you are coming they will have eggs ready for you?

Go out to Forest Grove on TV Hwy. On the west end of FG turn right on E street go a little ways then it will fork. Take the right fork that is Thatcher Rd. (The other fork is Gales Creek Rd.) Amerman eggs is on the right about 2 blocks up. They have a sign in their yard that says Salmon Eggs. If you follow the Amerman link on the home page and call them they can tell you the exact address and phone number.


Good fishing

Some friends and I have fished the Amerman eggs, and I'm happy to report that they worked well for us. We were bobber fishing several of the coastal rivers over the last couple of weeks. We found that the Amerman eggs milk out good, and that they can be fished alone, although we normally used sandshrimp with them. We got our eggs at Forest Grove.

I purchased some raw eggs from the guys in Forest Grove and they were really fresh.I would highly recommend them.I haven't had a chance to use them much yet but I'm sure they will work fine.

I can't say enough about Amermans eggs. I have used them all Fall and had some great days with them. I have frozen some of his eggs and when thawed they tend to turn into a kind of solid goo that stays well on the hook but they seem to work even better. When I cast my bobber with the previously frozen eggs I get the cloud of a lifetime every cast. Tidewater fish seem to love it.

Come on Guys, I have heard about enough of this sh#* about these eggs, anyone who uses this site is capable of making an egg as good or better, have some faith and confidence in yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions and experiment. That's what I did way back in the day and I catch a ton of fish on my eggs. Last weekend on one of our small coastal streams me and two of my buddies caught more kings and silvers on my eggs drifted under neath a river dink float than the rest of the people on the river that day. You are all capable of this, just go up to hoodsport catch 4 hen chums, bleed them right away so you have a good egg to start with and go from there. It is not that hard. good luck

Thanks everyone for all the great feedback. I have been receiving many happy stories from fisherman who have bought eggs from us.

I do have a partner in Forest Grove. Right now we have had a slow down in the amount of fresh eggs we are receiving due to the total lack of rain this year. We are selling surplus hatchery eggs. Since there has been no rain to get the fish to the hatcheries, we have been unable to fill fresh orders the last couple of weeks. Our apologies to anyone we have failed to contact who is waiting for fresh eggs (like ZAQ). We are still hoping for one last shot of fresh eggs when the rain finally shows up. We do still have plenty of cured eggs for all that are interested.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback. I am looking forward to when I am a little less busy so I can become a more active member of this board.

Geez 'Fisky, why so harsh?? Take a look at what's on the market and then tell me that these aren't great eggs for those that need to buy eggs. I will say that I used them one time, recieved two pounds as a gift. We nailed our 47 pounder on those eggs on a slow day, and the only fish caught in the area that morning that we saw. Now, when I dog your hooks I do it in private. You should show Scott the same courtesy.. baw ha ha

Well I'll add 2 cents worth to this subject. Amerman's eggs suck! ..... Suck fish right onto the hook that is http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif . I had always been a bit envious of Gary Amerman's egg prowess, as many other guides have been, back during my guiding days. And toward the end of my guiding days, again like some other full-time guides, had closed the gap up close. But they have found something a little extra that we haven't found, yet, and they are great eggs. And of course Scott has continued that trend, probably adding some of his own ideas too. I recommend those eggs to anyone that needs good eggs. I also recommend the Amerman's guide services. They have dialed into the tidewater bobber fishery like no one else. Being out there everyday with their excellant eggs and 8 bobbers in the water between their 2 boats and they are going to find what and where the fish want it! Book a day with them and learn something. - RT

Hey, I am not dogging anybodies eggs or business, all I am saying is that everyone who fishes seriously should invest some time and experimentation into doing a good egg. That is obviosly what they did to make a good product. And you are absolutley right about there being allot of bad store bought eggs out there, you should see some of the crap they sell up here. Like crappy runny sockeye eggs that guys buy and actually think they are going to catch fish with. So invest a little time into your self and at least try.
you never know, you may end up with the next amerman egg.

Hi Guys,I bought some of there eggs for a friend of mine that were cured,I also bught some of there uncured eggs for me,we'vw both been catching silvers on these eggs.I don't know if there cure is any better then the one I used or not,but I have NO COMPLAINTS on the quality of the eggs,my friend has none either on the cured eggs.It was a long run for me to go and get them,I live in washougal so it was a good 45 min drive to get there.But if,I would have to go there again I wouldn't hesitate(never said I could spll),even tho I did get rear ended by the zoo on those curves just have to find an earlier time to go so,I can beat that off work traffic,in short for what its worth,I recommend there eggs they are choice. http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.ifish.net/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree about experimenting Joe. So many fishers just buy and use a stock commercial cure or use 'what's always worked OK for me' and lose opportunity to improve their catch. I've posted many suggestions from mild under cured eggs to radical additives such as certain chems taken thru egg sack pores with 70% DMSO. But it takes a lot of on river experimenting time to refine these things. The majority of us just don't have the river time and rods out that the guides have so I'm going to tell you what I started this fall and suggest others do the same. I have come up with a group of good fishermen to try a lot of ideas I've come up with and they have ideas also. Between us we will have the water time to get definitive results and improvements. I expect some very good things to come in the next few months. Get a group of fishing buddies and minds together, and get after it!

Superfly, you think that I can experiment with some good chum eggs and some internet cures and compete with 40 years of 200 plus fishing days per year. The experimentation gone into the Amerman eggs you will never duplicate in your lifetime and I know that you fish a lot. To say that with a little experimentation that anyone could possibly come up with the next Amerman egg is an insult to all of the people(mostly full time guides) that have put a short lifetime into perfecting their cures.

To be fair to you Joe, I know that you don't do a lot of tidewater bobber fishing for Chinook. You may not understand the sensitivity of these fish and how many good fisherman with good eggs are made to look bad every year by these fish. The eggs that worked great for you in the upper river sometimes just don't work in tidewater. At least not to the extent that you hook fish every time. A good egg cure will hook fish everyday. I know of only four boats on the entire Siletz tidewater that hook fish every day all season long.

The Siletz tidewater is done for the season so next year when the fish come in I want you you come down and give it a try and you will understand why we make such a big deal about having the best eggs possible even if we have to buy them. I owe you a trip anyway.

[superfly]

Your right Grant, I don't do a whole lot of tide water bobber fishing for chinook, but do you think they get any less picky as they move up the river? But I can understand that in tide water the fish can sit there and look at the eggs and smell them and all that stuff because there is very little water movement. Where as when they are in upper river conditions, they only have a second to decide if they are going to eat them or not. So to be fair to me and my partners, why do we catch more than most people? probably for the same reason the Amermans catch more, Just plain putting in the hours on the water. Everyone is capable of doing it, believe me we have had our fair share of fishless days, but we have also had our fair share of great days. So make a good egg and then fish it hard and you will reap the rewards.
Peace superfly
